Synchronised tipping - Will's Roadtransport Revival

Foden%20Tippers.jpg

It might look like an attempt to get into the Guinness Book of Records for the world's largest display of synchronised tipping, but in actual fact this was just JW Hurdiss of Lincolnshire's way of showing off its new fleet of 1993 Fodens.
According to Commercial Motor, the company had just taken delivery of seven 2000-Series 17-tonners. Apparently they were chosen for their strength and low weight, while the "stylish and modern narrow cabs" allowed them get into places with difficult access - like farms, building sites and sometimes quarries.
Is access really an issue with quarries?
